Poison Ivy in the US is a delayed action, relatively mild skin irritant. It usually only starts to itch after a day or so, and can take a week or more to disperse. Its a minor irritation in realistic terms, by no means would it have any significant effect on a PC's action in combat. It could be used to add color to a campaign. There are some people who have severe reactions, and if burned the inhaled smoke can be quite dangerous, but these are both extremely uncommon. (Unless you want to lace some rival's pipe tobacco with some dried poison ivy leaves!)

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
